Scott Kidman, a Mormon and former Ogden, Utah fireman, was arrested in September 2025 on suspicion of three counts of object rape, a first-degree felony.
Thanks to your donations, Floodlit has obtained a copy of a police probable cause affidavit in Kidman’s case.
Floodlit recognizes the courage of multiple abuse survivors who came forward in the mid-2010s and in 2025, leading to Kidman’s arrest.
According to the affidavit, Kidman began sexually abusing an 8-year-old girl, whom we’ll call Jane Doe 1, around the time of her “baptism in her religious organization.”
Jane Doe 1 provided investigators with a written, sworn statement detailing alleged abuse by Kidman over a period of several years, and was interviewed in person by a detective with the Cache County Sheriff’s Office.
Jane Doe 1 and multiple other alleged victims described many grooming behaviors in addition to the sexual abuse.
Jane Doe 1 said when she around 10 years old, Kidman showed her a video of a woman sexually abusing a young girl who looked approximately 7 or 8 years old, then “told her it was normal for developing girls and she needed to get used to it.”
In 2015 and 2016, Kidman was investigated after multiple girls reported sexual abuse by him to interviewers at the Children’s Justice Center in Logan, Utah. Charges were never filed, despite detailed accusations from two alleged victims.
One victim, Jane Doe 2, said Kidman showed her child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and sex toys. She said her mother confronted Kidman, who denied the allegations.
In August 2025, Kidman posted to a social media platform about being visited by and receiving a cooked meal from a member of his “church ward.”
